Letters Patent No. 96,699, dated November 9, 1869.

IMPRovnD UPsET, PUNCH, SHEARS, AND SAW-Guiviwmm DEVICE.

The Schedule referred to in thes'e Letters Patent and making par/t ofthe same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, S. D. HIoKs, of New London, in the county ofWaupacca, and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and improvedMachine for Gulrr, ming, Punching, Upsetting, and Cutting; and 'I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art'tonia-ke and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates tol improvements in ironworkers apparatus;'andYconsists in the arrangement on one portable base of saidgumming-devices, punching-devices, tire-upsetting devices, andAshearing-devices, the gumming and shearing-devices being arranged to beoperated by one and the same hand-lever, and the upsetting andpunching-devices by another lever.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved machine;

Figure 2 represents a plan view; and `Figure 3 represents a section onthe line y y .of

2. imilar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is a base-plate or bed;

B, a fixed block thereon; and

C, a movable block corresponding to B, and arranged to move to or fromthe latter in ways or guides, J).

It is worked by a hand-lever, E, pivoted to the bed at E', and having aneccentric boss, F, bearing against the said block C.

VThe latter is also connected to the eccentric boss F,

Aby a bent arm, G, taking behind a raised curved flange, `'so as to bewithdrawn by the lever when moved backthe female die K, so that a barbeing held in the way L may be punched by these devices, the movementbeing produced by the same lever that is used to eiiect the upsetting.

N represents a strongplate attached to one side of the bed A, in avertical position.

It is notched at O, and the lower wall of the notch supports a fixedshearing-cutter, P, with which a movable shear-cutter, Q, pivoted at It,works, and which is forced down by an eccentric lever, It, pivoted at S,between the plate A and a strong brace T, connected to the plate belowpivot R.

This movable cutter is provided with a spring, U, for. throwing it up,and with a-projection, Q', at the rear end, on which the level' R may bebrought to bearby swinging it over in that direction, to assist thespring in raising it in case it binds-with the. metal being cut, so asto resist the action of the spring.

V is a vertically moving gumming-punch, connected to the moving cutterQ, so as to work up and down with it.

W is a corresponding female gumming-die, fixed in a sheli projectingfrom the side of the plate N, so as to support the edge of the saw to beguinmed, which is moved along the said shelf` by hand or otherwise, tobring the teeth in position for gumming.

' Bythis arrangement the gumming and shearingdevices are also operatedby one hand-lever, and thereby an economy of construction is eiiected.

Having thus described my invention, l

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. rlhearrangement, on one portable bed A, of' the upsetting, punching,shearing, and saw-gummiug de vices, substantially in thc manner hereindescribed.

2. The arrange-ment of the hand-lever It relatively to the projection Q,of the movable shear, for operation, substantially as specified. n

3. The combination of the ,hand-lever It, movable shear Q, slidinggnmming-pnnch, and the gummingdie W, all substantially as specified.
